It was ...

… a very good last day. There was sun, salmon, some compost guarding, and some me guarding as she checked the laptop posed no threat.

And, at the end, with all of us kneeling around her cushions in the garden, she tried to bite the vet despite being sedated to the eyeballs. Because near-death does not mean a Min cat should give up the fight. The vet was incredibly charmed by this, and described it as extremely Minlike. The vet nurse cheered Min on, which I suspect was a trifle treacherous.

It is clear to me now that I cannot die before J, because, like the good, strong, tough man he is, he is bawling.

I'm so sorry.

How is your muppet? I am so behind on the rest of my life! I hope that he is doing well! And thank you.

He's alright, with a healthy appetite and no stomach upset for days now. He's sleeping with the other kitty on my bed right now. he probably lost a life or two on the way, though. I feel so sorry about Min, she seemed to be such a temperamental cat.

That is very good news!

Min wasn't flighty in her temper, she just assumed that the whole world was here to either cater to her or to vex her, and she was suitably grateful when she realised we were in the first category. Her standard response to the vexing creatures was to attempt to eat them. Cats all over Erskineville are suddenly more relaxed today ...

Well, it was a far-going assumption on my part, because my vet said that they had only one worse patient than my Pimpo. But than, that other kitty was appropriately called Bitch.
